Victoria Granof on “Brain Food,” from her upcoming exhibition “Killed: Beautiful Food That Never Made the Cut”

The upcoming exhibition “Killed: Beautiful Food That Never Made the Cut” features unpublished collaborations between food stylist Victoria Granof and a wide variety of renowned photographers. Each image in the show will be accompanied by a short text, courtesy of Victoria, that explains the story behind the photo. She’s a witty, engaging storyteller, and the combination of her insights and the photos themselves are going to make for a memorable show.

“Killed” will make its debut at a private, one-night-only viewing at Craig Cutler‘s studio before moving to Pure Space Studios in New York City, where it will be on display November 25 through December 20.

Below, a little taste of the exhibition: “Brain Food,” a collaboration between Victoria and the photographer Hans Gissinger

“It was when all the talk about chocolate as a nutrient (and edamame, fish, and almonds) was reaching a crescendo that we were brought together to make this picture,” writes Victoria. “The crux of the article was whether these foods were enough to meet our nutritional needs. There was talk from the sittings editor about working vitamin capsules into the composition. I brought all the foods to set and some empty vitamin capsules. Hans brought a skull. A human one.

“The image that ran was minus the human head. That was just too much for Anna.”
